how to unmount usb devices???
 

hi guys, im using SLES 9.0, how do I unmount a usb devices such as usb hardrive?

You will first need to know how the USB device has been mounted by your Linux system.

have a look in the /media directory on your system and see if you can identify which sub directory there represents the USB device.

For example if I plug a USB device into my PC, I get a folder something like /media/usb

so to unmount that USB device I would use the command 'umount /media/usb' or 'sudo umount /media/usb'


Hope that helps

With umount. You can use either the device node or mount point, e.g. "umount /dev/sda1" or "umount /mnt/usbdisk". Note these are just examples!
